Right, I say

Are you suggesting that we buy the house next door, Bette asks

That is what Im suggesting.

Bette seems intrigued by this idea, The two houses are close enough together that wed be able to combine them into one house.

I smile as she realizes my idea, Thats what I was thinking. I mean wed still have to find somewhere else to live for right now. If we started right this minutes it probably wouldnt be done before the twins were born.

Yeah, states Bette, Its a really good idea though. We should run it by my mom.

Youre really okay with her living with us, I ask

Im more than fine with it, Bette states, Youre the one I should be asking that.

I like your mother Bette. I think shes a wonderful addition to our lives.

Bette beams a magical smile my way.

*Bette*

Im watching Tina and see a wicked smile grace her beautiful face.

What is that look for, I ask

You said something to Raul about being horny as a hound dog if I recall.

I grin widely at that, I did indeed say something to that effect.

Were you being serious or were you just messing with him?

I take Tinas hand and press it against the light cotton pants I am wearing so that she can feel my heat and how wet I am already getting.

I guess you are serious, she smiles

I smile back, What did you have in mind?

Mom went off to run an errand. She said it would be a couple of hours.

Well whatever shall we do with a couple of hours?

Tina smiles and stands up helping me to my feet. Together we go the bedroom where Tina gently lays me down so Im resting on my back.

Are you comfortable babe, she asks me as she begins removing my clothing

I am now.

Once my clothes are removed Tina just stands back and admires me and the proceeds to remove her own clothes. I see her love for me shining through her most expressive eyes and I smile. God I love this woman. I cant believe that I could have lost it all today. Myself and our children could have died today leaving Tina behind. I never want to be without her. Quite suddenly I find myself crying.

*Tina*

When Bette, my precious Bette starts crying I have feared that Ive done something to hurt her.

Bette, sweetie, I ask crawling on to the bed and looking directly into her eyes, Are you okay? I didnt hurt you did I?

Bette shakes her head to the negative.

Then what is it?

Can you just hold me T, she asks through her tears

Of course baby.

She turns so she is lying on her left side and I wrap my arms around her and our children laying my head next to hers. She continues to cry for a few minutes longer without saying anything. Once the crying stops she is left sniffling.

What is it Bette, I whisper

It…just occurred to me today how I could have died. How we could have died, she says resting a hand over her stomach, How we would have left you.

Ah babe, you cant think about that now. Youre okay, all of you and you are going to stay that way.

Bette nods her head, Im sorry T.

Sorry for what?

Can we just sleep?

I realize that she means shes sorry for putting a stop to our lovemaking.

Dont be sorry babe. You need your rest. We can sleep.

I grab the blankets and pull them over our bodies and snuggle up as close as I can get to my love.

Sleep now and dream sweet dreams.

I love you, Bette says softly

I love you too.

TBC…I’ll most likely have another chapter up sometime today seeing as I’m off from work, woohoo! Later.
